This FOI release contains internal project management communications from April 2020 regarding CovidSafe app development rather than health regulatory or clinical information. The email from Miguel Carrasco to Peter Alexander discusses Sprint Release 2 scope for the contact-tracing application, detailing deployment timelines and approvals needed from the Department of Health and the Prime Minister's Office. Key points include outstanding Australian Cyber Security Centre high-risk security fixes with unknown impact on delivery, requirement for design and content sign-off by end of business, and a planned App Store submission by Monday 4 May 2020 with gradual rollout to existing users beginning 5 May. The documents reflect coordination between the Digital Transformation Agency, Department of Health, and development teams regarding technical deployment procedures and stakeholder approval processes for the application's second release.
